Background Acting in Savannah
Savannah’s regional film commission shares casting notices, but it does not cast or register background performers itself. Its local archive is a useful starting point for learning which notices concern the Savannah region and what each project asks of applicants.

Background acting in Savannah
The Savannah Regional Film Commission directs performers to casting notices in its News section and social updates. Its FAQ explicitly separates that service from casting: the commission does not act as an agency or list and promote actors, extras, or background artists.
Dated local notices can teach you how submissions work without being current openings. A July 2026 Savannah feature-film notice asked for recent photos, clothing sizes, and relevant experience, and specified local-hire terms. Those details belonged to that project; check the latest notice rather than reusing its old instructions.
Getting started as a beginner
- Check a notice’s publication date and work dates before contacting its casting team; the commission’s archive includes past projects.
- Have current close-up and full-body photos, clothing sizes, and a truthful description of relevant skills ready. Follow the individual notice’s requirements.
- Use the casting contact named in a suitable notice, not the film commission’s crew database, to follow performer submission instructions.

Types of Opportunities
What Productions in Savannah May Look For
Feature-film background
A July 2026 Savannah feature notice included background portrayals requiring medical experience. It is a historical example, not a current opening or a requirement for all extras.
Skill-specific doubles
The same dated notice sought experienced tennis players for doubles. Double work can have specific skill and appearance requirements; it is not interchangeable with general background work.
Examples are general. Scene Seekers does not list or guarantee specific casting calls.
